	* Most krakun schooling is intermittent.

	* Krakun, being absolutely massive creatures, are slow-moving. However, most of their brain power is dedicated to predictive awareness. A krakun can calculate what's about to happen up to ''several minutes'' before it actually happens, even if they're not aware of it, and move ahead of time accordingly.		* Krakun, being absolutely massive creatures, are slow-moving.

	* Krakun can get so used to even very complex tasks, they can operate on "autopilot" for ''many'' things, sometimes even going a full day without really thinking about where they are or what they're doing. Krakun who get stuck in a rut can endure this feeling for ''years''.		* Krakun can get so used to even very complex tasks, they can operate on "autopilot" for ''many'' things, sometimes even going a full day without really thinking about where they are or what they're doing.
